Having problems with your Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T1 Digital Camera ?

I camera was sitting for about a month and when i opened it after a month, there seems to be a lens problem. You cannot see anything. Pretty much the picture is extremely distorted vertically. Is there any way to fix that?

Every time I try and upload pictures onto my computer using my Nikon s4000, the pictures are extremely distorted, but look completely fine on the camera itself. I use the chord that came with the camera to transfer them onto my computer. This is the second s4000 I've had, because the first one i purchased had the same exact problem. The only way that the pictures aren't distorted are when I upload them to my boyfriend's laptop by taking the memory card out of my camera and putting it in his lapt

This is a very odd problem, I have the same camera and it works fine, your best bet is to buy a usb SD memory card dongle. they are about 14 dollars, this will solve your problem with the photos, but I don't know why your camera won't work properly w ...

Purple image was visible in viewfinder and in picture, came on at rare random in 2 months ago. The picture became more frequent, and picture had vertical distortion as well. Pictures unusable. Then good pictures were rare. Now the view in the view finder is black and white only with an electronic type of squiggle between the two colors.

This sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please check the following two links for more info:\015\ ...

I removed battery pack from the camera. About two months later, I put it back, and when I turned on the camera, the LCD was completely blurred, with purple vertical streaks throughout the picture. I never had a problem when I've removed the battery. Old pictures appear fine, but now when I take a picture, it comes out almost completely distorted.

There is a pretty good link about this if it is in the pitures related to Soney and Canon cameras that Member t00nz provided in a related post.\015\012\015\012Basically it states that it is a known issue and the manufacturer is aware of t ...

I have a Samsung SL202 which I purchased because it was pretty much auto setting if I wanted. I liked the dial on the back to tell me what I was shooting. I'm not camera techie. I have been trying to get clear pictures of items to list on ebay. I have had a trombone and a suit jacket. I have tried most settings, different places in the house for light, etc., but they are never clear, the colors are not right, and the picture is too bright making the object look faded. I have then spent way too m

My camera has a delayed response when I push the shutter button down to snap a picture-it takes 3-4 seconds and then the moment is gone! Another problem I have is the pictures moniter are blurry. Also, the battery life in the camera is extremely short. I charge them on a regular basis. (My daughter threw the camera on the floor in a rage)is there any way the camera can be fixed or will it cost just as much to buy a new, better one?

Well if it stills under warranty u can send to tre repair centre and they will fix for free, but remember it\302\264s pretty normal for that cameras to just eat batteries, the best u can do on that is buy the most powerful recharchable batteries. ...

Distorted image The image I see through the viewer is distorted(vertical lines). Also if I take a picture that comes up the same, all vertical lines?
The picture looks good in the viewfinder but the actual picture is distorted---many horizontal lines thru the picture and the exposure is very very light. I have tried cleaning the lens with an "air duster: but has not helped. Any suggestions?

Picture improvement could anyone tell me how to improve my pic quality as it s difficult not to blur pics, especialy those of my 18 month old daughter as she is pretty much always on the go.

I've heard that the P52 can give blurry pics, however I don't quite know how to fix that. You may be able to do something with a software program (ie Photoshop). Since I can't help I'll bump you up so someone who can help might see this!\015\012Good ...

Thank you Happy holidays.

Pretty much constant but sometimes intermittant problem of the camera fe-210 screen goes black. all functions appear to be normal but it does not see through the lens. So everything is black on the pictures taken. It's like the opening is shut. Sometimes it will work when first turned on for one or maybe two exposures. then it goes black and may stay that way even if turned on and off or changing any of the settings.

I recently bought a Ricoh Caplio RR770 digital camera. I have found that many of my images have a grey bar covering the bottom 20% of the pictures. Not all of them turned out this way, but a fair ammount which pretty much makes the pic useless when trying to post. This is very annoying and I have no idea how this happens or how to remedy it. I know the pics themselves are fine because after I took them, I looked at them and there was nothing wrong. Only when I upload the image somewhere does thi

I have a pentax IST DS. Three months ago I had the camera repaired with the technician telling me there was something wrong with the memory card reader. Symptoms - able to take a picture but when I would go to review the picture I would either get a message that said the image could not be viewed or the image would appear with faint vertical lines on it. When trying to remove these images from the memory card the files did not appear. Three months after the repair the same problems are occurin

I have had my camera for not even a year and it recently started having this problem. Whenever I take a picture, the object will look fine in the display, but when I take the picture it gets horizontal lines across the picture. It is much worse if there is any natural light coming into the picture. I have tried adjusting the flash, the white balance, but the pictures are still coming out this way. Also, if there is a good amount of natural light, you can't see the object you at all, it looks

Missing Pictures I have an Olympus FE-170 digital camera and I had deleted some pictures off my memory card manually, one by one. When i was finished i shut it off. When i turned my camera back on again every one of my pictures were deleted like i had formated it. Is there any way i can get my pictures back? They mean so much to me!

It is possible to recover the lost photos with so-called photo recovery software but it's not 100% sure (if the deleted ones are overwritten). Well, since you failed to mention the OS you are running, I'll recommend you have a try o ...

Sony Cyber shot has started having hundreds of vertical lines distort the picture, they are very small but make the picture unusable.It usually only happens in sunlight conditions

Image quality My camera is not working. Whenever I turn it on and attempt to take a picture, there is a discolored, distorted image. The colors all seem to be in a pinkish, redish pastel, with a running, watery look. The batteries are fully charged. If I take the picture, the "prints" displayed when I plug it in, look the same way.

The camera is 2 years old, when turning on the power it goes to the date set,you can change the year, then it slides over to the month, but seems froze up, then the camera resets itself, if you skip the date set up, it shows a view on the lcd, but can't take a picture, and the camera resets again. My son borrowed it and took pictures snorkeling, so it may have gotten wet, but the lcd screen is not distorted as it was a year ago when I got water in it.

Blurred background I was wondering if there is a way to set the picture so that when you take it the background turns out blurred. I take most of my pictures in manual focus but the background still turns out pretty clear.
